More weakness and cowardice from the jihad sympathizer in the White House.

In the wake of Obama’s catastrophic failure in Iraq and Syria, the
Obama administration is laying off on everyone else. The “Junior
Varsity” team has conquered whole swaths of the Middle East and there is
no stopping them. At least not while Hussein is in the White House.

Obama’s Secretary of State John Kerry, in a NY Times editorial, which
I am sure the Islamic State reads every morning over the pile-up of
heads and corpses, is a “global coalition using political, humanitarian,
economic, law enforcement and intelligence tools to support military
force.” Obama has no global coalition. He has alienated every ally we
had. Unlike George Bush, who had a “Coalition of the Willing” of 48
countries.

This is just another embarrassing example of Obama’s impotence. The
rise of the Islamic State is a direct result of Obama’s foreign policy —
the disengagement and dismantling of American influence and power in
the Middle East and the world. The spread of jihad is the symptom of a
vacuum.

Whenever jihad wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure
of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic
principles (paraphrasing Ayn Rand).

We have the military, cultural, and moral superiority to defeat
jihad. We choose not to. A global coalition needs a leader. Has anyone
called Stephen Harper?

EU threatens Russia with more sanctions

BRUSSELS (AP) — Despite tough rhetoric decrying Russia's
increasing military involvement in Ukraine, European Union leaders on
Sunday stopped short of imposing new sanctions against Moscow right
away.

Instead, the 28-nation bloc's heads of state and government
tasked their executive body to "urgently" prepare tougher economic
sanctions that could be adopted within a week, according to EU summit
chairman Herman Van Rompuy.

The decision on new sanctions will
depend on the evolution of the situation on the ground but "everybody is
fully aware that we have to act quickly," he added. The EU leaders call
on Russia to "immediately withdraw all its military assets and forces
from Ukraine," they said in a joint statement.

NATO said this week
that at least 1,000 Russian soldiers are in Ukraine. Russia denies
that. NATO also says Russia has amassed some 20,000 troops just across
Ukraine's eastern border, which could rapidly carry out a full-scale
invasion.

The fighting between the military and Russian-backed
separatists in eastern Ukraine has so far claimed 2,600 lives, according
to U.N. figures.

The U.S. and the EU have so far imposed
sanctions against dozens of Russian officials, several companies as well
as the country's financial and arms industry. Moscow has retaliated by
banning food imports.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the new
sanctions would target the same sectors as previous punitive measures,
which also included an export ban for some high technology and oil
exploration equipment.

"If Russia continues to escalate the crisis
it will come with a high cost," said EU Commission President Jose
Manuel Barroso. "It's time for everyone to get down to the business of
peace-making.

Medi-Cal, and many other state Medicaid programs include a ‘claw-back’
provision for recovery of costs incurred by the state to provide
medical care. While there is much variation in particulars from one
state to another, the bottom line is these costs include a monthly
‘administrative fee’

The ‘claw-back’ mechanism functions via
the state placing ‘liens’ on individual assets at the point the
Medicaid recipient reaches age 55, then recovers the money at the point
the Medicaid recipient dies by ‘seizing’ the money from the estate.

When first put into effect, these ‘claw-back’ provisions were primarily
intended to recover costs to the state of providing long term nursing
home care for older recipients.

ObamaCare’s expanded
Medicaid has, of course, now waived the assets portion of the ‘means
test’. But under current law, those assets are subject to ‘claw-back’.

At the moment, the monthly ‘administrative fee’ amount for
Medi-Cal is $611. Those who sign up for Medicaid may not be doing
themselves any favors.

Medi-Cal estate recovery refers to state action to reclaim certain
Medi-Cal costs from the estates of beneficiaries after their death. This
program, which has been in place for decades, has received renewed
attention from policymakers because of reports that some individuals
newly eligible for Medi-Cal as expanded under the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) may not enroll for fear that their house and assets could later
be seized.

... States also have the option to take a more
expansive approach and seek recovery of costs for other covered
services, not just LTSS, provided to beneficiaries age 55 and older.
California has chosen this option and seeks recovery of Medi-Cal costs
for all covered services provided to beneficiaries age 55 and over, with
the exception of personal care services provided through the state’s
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. California has elected to
use property liens to protect its claim in cases where the beneficiary
was permanently institutionalized and not expected to return home.
Medi-Cal places a lien against the beneficiary’s property while the
beneficiary is still alive so it can seek recovery when the individual
passes away or when the property is sold.

Bare Naked Islam

Less than two
years after four Americans got massacred in a terrorist attack on the
U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya the Obama administration is
disregarding congressional opposition to lift a decades-old ban on
Libyans attending flight schools and training as nuclear scientists in
the United States.

Judicial Watch
The ban was implemented in 1983 after a wave of terrorist incidents
involving Libyans. The African nation continues to be a hotbed of
terrorism and in fact, the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli was recently
evacuated because violence between rival militias has created a deadly
environment. Many other foreign governments have also shut down their
embassies in Libya because the violence has spread throughout the entire
country.

Nevertheless,
President Obama has discounted congressional opposition to let Libyans
train as pilots, airplane mechanics and nuclear scientists in the United
States. Perhaps the commander-in-chief has somehow forgotten that many
of the 9/11 hijackers—mostly Saudi nationals—received their training in
American flights schools because our government allowed it. Have we not
learned that it’s a really bad idea to help our enemies obtain skills
that could later be used to attack us?

Official word of this senseless change comes via a final regulation approved
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). It lifts the longtime
prohibition on Libyans coming to the U.S. to attend flight school, work
in aviation maintenance or flight operations or to study or train in
nuclear science. The Obama administration claims that the ban is no
longer necessary because the “United States Government and the
Government of Libya have normalized their relationship and most of the
restrictions and sanctions imposed by the United States and the United
Nations toward Libya have been lifted.”

Coming soon, to a flight school near you.

The move comes just a few months after a congressional hearingaddressed
what was then the administration’s proposal to overturn the 30-year
ban. Before actually reversing the longtime regulation, the
administration was required to provide Congress with certain documents
that were never provided, according to the heads of the House Judiciary
Committee and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee
considering the matter. In other words, the president has once again
blown off Congress and this week the lawmakers involved in the process
expressed outrage.

“The Obama
Administration is turning a blind eye to real terrorist threats that
exist in Libya today by carelessly forging ahead with its plan to allow
Libyan pilots and nuclear scientists to study in the United States,”
said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte. “The House
Judiciary Committee has repeatedly sought information about the
Administration’s policy reversal but political appointees at the
Department of Homeland Security have stonewalled the Committee’s
requests and have not articulated why it is in Americans’ best interests
to change policy.

Given the
ongoing volatility in Libya, it is unconscionable and completely
irresponsible that the Administration plans to lift a longstanding
policy that protects Americans and our national security from threats in
the region.”

At the congressional hearing earlier this year, a top Homeland Security official revealed that
the Hillary Clinton State Department first requested the Libyan ban
lift in 2010. Three years later, the official, Alan Bersin, told
Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano agreed to begin
the process to amend the regulations relating to Libya. This illustrates
that the administration started working to lift the ban long before the
2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound in Benghazi.
Clearly, it was not enough to deter the administration from going forth
with its dangerous plan.

Consumer spending fell in July and income growth was weak, signs that
cautious consumers could restrain economic growth in the second half of
the year.

Personal spending, which measures what Americans pay
for everything from sneakers to doctor visits, declined a seasonally
adjusted 0.1% in July from a month earlier, the Commerce Department said
Friday. It was the first time spending fell in a month since January.

Personal
income, reflecting income from wages, investment, and government aid,
rose 0.2% in July—the smallest monthly increase of the year.

"Looks
like the pilot threw the economy's engines into reverse at the start of
the third quarter," said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at
Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ. Forecasts that the economy would grow at a
strong 3% clip in the third quarter "look increasingly unrealistic if
consumers don't return to the shops and malls."

Economists
surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted personal spending
would increase 0.1% and incomes would rise 0.3% in July.

Barclays
lowered its forecast for third-quarter growth by a half-percentage
point to a 2.2% pace. Goldman Sachs economists lowered their estimate to
a 3.1% annual rate from a 3.3% pace.

Obama’s 5 Worst Foreign Policy Decisions

Since Barack Obama has been the Hindenburg of Presidents
on the domestic front, there hasn't been as much commentary as you'd
expect about the fact that he has been the Titanic of Presidents on
foreign policy.

George W. Bush certainly made his mistakes as President, primarily in
Iraq, but you did at least get the sense that his administration was
full of capable, serious adults sincerely grappling with a new strategic
problem for the country. On the other hand, when it comes to foreign
policy, Obama comes across like a bored kid playing war because his
mother won't let him come inside and play with his Xbox.

He doesn't care very much, he's not prepared, and he doesn't spend a
lot of time thinking things through. It's like Obama just ponders the
issues in-between shots on the golf course, formulates his policy by
shooting from the hip, then gives a speech about it and thinks his work
is done.

We may have laughed at the incompetence of the Obama Administration
when it gave a "reset" button to the Russians that actually said
"overcharge" or when the POTUS bowed to a foreign leader like he was his
butler instead of the President of the United States, but there are
real consequences to Obama's buffoonery on the world stage.

5) Benghazi: Congress is still investigating Benghazi, but
best case scenario, the Obama Administration got Americans killed in
Libya by ignoring their repeated requests for more security in a
dangerous part of the world. Worst case scenario, the Obama
Administration got them killed, deliberately misled the public about
what happened for political purposes, and did nothing when it could have
conceivably acted and saved their lives. When all the investigations
are completed, we'll have a clearer picture of what happened, but at a
minimum, good people are dead because the Obama Administration didn't
take basic precautions to save their lives.

4) Libya: Gaddafi was an evil dictator with American blood on
his hands, but he had also been scared straight by Bush’s invasion of
Iraq and was cooperating with the United States. So naturally, Obama
signaled the world that it was dumb to work with us by helping radical
Islamists defeat Gaddafi. Today, Libya has implemented Sharia law, is a
hotbed of terrorism and is descending into civil war. Meanwhile, many of
Obama’s supporters still consider that country to be a “success story.”
Maybe it is compared to say, Obamacare -- but like most of Obama’s
presidency, we’d have all been better off if he’d just done nothing and
let Gaddafi crush the radical Islamists.

3) Obama's Iranian Nuclear Deal: After a lot of grumbling that
Obama wasn't doing anything to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons,
Obama swung into action and made the situation even worse. He signed a
deal with Iran that will allow it to rake in somewhere between 7 and 20
billion dollars in sanctions relief and frozen assets even as it
CONTINUES to work on enriching uranium. In other words, the Iranians get
billions of dollars, give up nothing of consequence and when anyone
complains, Obama claims the problem is solved because we have a "deal"
in place stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Given how bad a
negotiator Obama is, I guess we should feel lucky that he didn't just
give Iran a nuclear bomb in return for promises that it will never use
it.

2) The Bowe Bergdahl swap: There's a reason that it is our
nation's policy not to negotiate with terrorists. If you reward
terrorists for their terrorism, it encourages more of the same. So, when
Barack Obama broke
the law to release five Taliban generals in return for deserter Bowe
Bergdahl, he served notice to every terrorist on the planet that
kidnapping Americans could pay big dividends. So it’s not exactly
shocking that ISIS is promising to murder a captured relief worker if
the U.S. doesn’t pay it millions and release Aafia Siddiqui AKA “Lady
al-Qaeda.” After the Bergdahl deal, why wouldn’t ISIS expect that to
work? Why wouldn’t Al-Qaeda start trying to capture our troops to trade
for terrorists in Gitmo? How many of our soldiers will end up being
kidnapped and held because of this swap? How many Americans will die
when those Taliban generals inevitably go back to the fight? The
Bergdahl swap was illegal, short-sighted, and stupid. In other words, it
was VERY OBAMA.

1) Iraq/Isis: Despite being told over and over again that it
was a terrible idea to set up a timeline in Iraq and pull out of the
country for political reasons without getting a Status of Forces
Agreement, Obama did it anyway. Then he bragged that "We’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq."
Not so much.

That’s because ISIS sprang up in Syria as one of the groups fighting
anti-American dictator Bashar al-Assad. After Assad rather famously
crossed Obama’s imaginary “red line” by using chemical weapons against
the rebels trying to overthrow him, Obama wanted to aid them, even
though there was every indication that radicals were taking over the
movement. Had the public outcry not stopped him, it’s entirely possible
Obama would have accidentally ended up helping ISIS take over Syria.

After ISIS gathered strength, it moved into Iraq where it outfought
an Iraqi army that outnumbered it 15-to-1. If only those troops had more
American training and a minimal amount of American air support, they
would have crushed ISIS like a steamroller running over a watermelon
with no U.S. casualties. Instead, there’s now an Islamic State
stretching from Syria to Iraq run by maniacs who are committing genocide
against Christians, taking sex slaves, and promising terrorist attacks
against the United States.

What’s Obama’s plan to handle this disaster his policies created? Earlier this week, he said,“We don’t have a strategy yet. We need to make sure that we’ve got
clear plans. As our strategy develops, we will consult with Congress.”
Wow. Just wow.

President Barack Obama told a group of Democratic donors
today that despite turmoil in Ukraine and Iraq the U.S. faces less of a
threat than it did during the Cold War.

In remarks to about 250 supporters who paid as much as $15,000 per
couple to attend a backyard barbecue in Purchase, New York, Obama today
said the brutality of Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria, and
Russia’s incursion into Ukraine, has made Americans anxious about
turmoil overseas.

The U.S. has confronted greater dangers and overcame them, including
the stand-off with the former Soviet Union following World War II, he
said.

“This is not something that’s comparable to the challenges we faced
in the Cold War,” Obama said. “This is something we can handle.”

Obama has moved cautiously in confronting Russia’s support for
separatists in Ukraine and the Islamic State extremists who have
captured swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria. On Aug. 8, Obama
authorized airstrikes against the militants in Iraq while ordering
surveillance flights over Syria.

Yesterday he again ruled out military
action in Ukraine, saying a military solution won’t sort out the
conflict there with Russia.

“The world has always been messy,” Obama said. “We will get through these challenging times just like we have in the past.”

Three Fundraisers

The event in Purchase was one of three fundraisers Obama was
attending today. It was held at the estate of former UBS Americas chief
executive officer and longtime supporter Robert Wolf and his wife, Carol
Wolf, coordinator for special projects at the Robert F. Kennedy Center
for Justice and Human Rights.

Earlier, in New Rochelle, New York, the president met with 25
supporters donating up to $32,400 at a fundraiser hosted by George
Logothetis, chief executive officer of New York-based Libra Group, and
his wife, Nitzia Logothetis.

Both events were to benefit the Democratic National Committee. The
third event, in Newport, Rhode Island, is a fundraiser for the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Obama, who was originally scheduled to spend the night in New York,
plans to return to Washington tonight. He is still set to return to
Westchester, New York, tomorrow to attend the wedding of the first
family’s personal chef, Sam Kass, who is marrying MSNBC host Alex
Wagner.

The FBI’s 2013 National Threat Assessment for Domestic Extremism, first flagged by the Washington Free Beacon,
is already facing criticism following its August 13, 2014, release.
Critics are pointing to the Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort
Hood shooting as recent examples of acts of domestic terrorism carried
out by Muslims.

“Imminent Terrorist Attack Warning By Feds on US Border,”Judicial Watch
Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of
Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or
other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level
federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed
to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist
attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland
Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert
and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources
concerning this imminent terrorist threat.

According
to the FBI, there are “eight types of domestic extremist movements—none
motivated by radical Islam. They include anti-government militia groups
and white supremacy extremists, along with ‘sovereign citizen’
nationalists, and anarchists. Other domestic threat groups outlined by
the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist
extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and
Puerto Rican nationalists.” Jihad? What’s that? Oh, the interior
spiritual struggle for self-improvement? What does that have to do with
terrorism?

This is the willful ignorance that, as I show in my book Arab Winter Comes to America, led directly to the Fort Hood and Boston Marathon jihad massacres.

The FBI’s most recent national threat assessment for
domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats,
despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood
shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans.

Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013
assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal
security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight
types of domestic extremist movements—none motivated by radical Islam.

They include anti-government militia groups and white supremacy
extremists, along with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists.
Other domestic threat groups outlined by the FBI assessment include
violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black
separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican
nationalists.

A copy of the unclassified, 60-page National Threat Assessment for
Domestic Extremism, dated Aug. 14, was obtained by the Washington Free
Beacon. It warns that the threat of domestic-origin extremism was
moderate in 2013 and will remain so for this year.

“Domestic extremists collectively presented a medium-level threat to
the United States in 2013; the FBI assesses the 2014 threat will remain
close to this level,” the report said….

FBI spokesman Paul Bresson had no immediate comment on the report.

One indirect explanation for the omission of Islamist extremism in
the report is provided in a footnote to a graphic describing an “other”
category of domestic extremism not included in the report. “The ‘Other’
category includes domestic extremist [sic] whose actions were motivated
by beliefs which fall outside the eight designated [domestic terrorism]
subprograms,” the footnote stated.

The footnote indicates the FBI has separated Islamist terrorism from other domestic extremism.

The Obama administration in 2009 adopted a new policy that
substituted the vague term “violent extremism” as a replacement for
terrorism.

The graphic showed that domestic extremists killed 43 people from
2003 to 2013 carried out by five categories of terrorists—abortion
extremists, black separatists, sovereign citizens, white supremacists,
and “others.”

The report left out all references to the April 2013 bombing of the
Boston Marathon, which killed three people and injured some 264 others.
Two brothers, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who were motivated by
Islamist extremist beliefs, carried out the bombing. They learned the
techniques for the homemade pressure cooker bombers from an al Qaeda
linked magazine.

The FBI had been warned in advance of the attack by Russian security
services that the brothers may have links to Chechen terrorists but
failed to act.

The FBI report also made no direct reference to the 2009 Fort Hood
shooting, by radicalized Army Maj. Nidal Hasan. The mass shooting left
13 dead and more than 30 injured.

Is President Obama An Agent For Islamists The Way King Edward VIII Was For The Nazis?

“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” — Barack Obama

“The two people who have caused me the most trouble in my life
are Wallis Simpson and Hitler.” — Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother

Islam is becoming more extreme with each passing year and with only
token impediment from President Barack Obama. I believe the president is
either naïve or he is purposely helping Islamic aspirations for global
domination.

That there is something wrong at the White House is becoming apparent
in the wake of the cancer that can be seen in the growing violence in
the Middle East by the Islamic State. The terrorist group also known as
ISIS or ISIL is a cancer that is a long-term threat to all of us. It is a
cancer whose virility can be diagnosed by the gruesome beheading of
American photojournalist James Foley, reportedly by a born and bred
Englishman who joined ISIS and is now a wanted traitor.

Still, apologists say this and every other terror attack and
broadcast execution have nothing to do with Islam. Rather, such acts are
the work of terrorists or — as former President George W. Bush called
the 9/11 terrorists — “evildoers.”

News flash: Islam at its marrow is the evildoer. It isn’t because the
majority of Muslims are involved in a global jihad. In truth, they are a
very small minority. Instead, it’s because more than 90 percent of
Muslims refuse to speak out against the barbaric goals of the terrorists
in their ranks.

In many ways radical Islam is no different than Nazism of the 1930s.
But rather than a single race following the evil edict of Adolf Hitler,
evil and radical Islam is driven by millions of Muslims following the
teachings of the Quran.

Liberalism brings with it an army of appeasers. In the late 1930s,
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and America’s ambassador to
Britain, Joseph Kennedy, thought Hitler was a leader they could work
with. Certainly, most of the 40 million Germans didn’t want war. When
the Nazi leadership pressed it upon them, a small minority protested and
many were exterminated.

World War III may have commenced, and the apologists are doing their
utmost to deny the fact that radical Islam has its sights set not only
on the domination of the Middle East but also on — within the next half
century — the world.

In an interview with Mike Huckabee, author Joel Richardson said the
number of radical Muslims is as high as 250 million. They are soulless
when it comes to murder and mayhem against Western democratic nations.
That is a quarter of a billion people spread around the world — some
likely living not far from you, some hoping for the death and
destruction of “nonbelievers” as is proclaimed in the Quran. This idea
that Islam is a peace-loving religion — as expressed by Bush and
emphasized by a man I consider to be a Muslim, Obama — puts America in
grave jeopardy.

I believe that Islam is as evil and an even greater world threat to
free thought than Nazism. Radical Muslims are fighting a guerrilla war
in which thousands, and sometimes millions, of Islamic zealots become
more radical each year and more willing to take up arms against the very
peoples who provide them freedom and comfort.

Two hundred and fifty million Muslims are devoted not to a man and
twisted hate and political dogma but to their god, their prophet and
even their imam. To go against them and the Quran does not risk jail or
even execution but the eternal damnation of hellfire.

"ISIS is a JV team."Barack HUSSEIN Obama's 'expert opinion' of ISIS this past January

On Obama's agenda for today...more fundraisers. Heads are
rolling...literally...all over the Middle East and off Obama goes to
raise more money for the caliphate... ooops...I mean for the Democratic
party. So while David Cameron...the Prime Minister of England...raises
his country's terror alert to the highest level...Barack HUSSEIN Obama
is hob-nobbing with big money donors, Hollywood liberals with a capital
'L', and muslim sympathizers, all while ISIS continues its march across
Iraq...all while ISIS continues its incursion into Jordan.

"I don’t want to put the cart before the horse...We don't have a strategy yet,"
Obama bloviated during his recent press conference when asked what he
plans to do about ISIS. Stumbling for a answer...as he had NO
teleprompted script to read from...Obama finally spit those words out,
but the truth is that Obama does indeed have a strategy and it's called
'screw America, screw Iraq, and screw Israel'...because for him it's
all about the caliphate and always has been.

“We cannot appease this ideology. We have to confront it at home
and abroad... We are in the middle of a generational struggle against a
poisonous and extremist ideology that I believe we will be fighting for
years and probably decades,” David Cameron said when addressing the
British people. Words spoken by a man now truly looking like a leader
instead of looking like a man who's obviously bored with the job, the
people, and the Constitution he swore to uphold and protect.

And David Cameron did NOT just spew words... he took action. First,
he's denying muslims who leave Britain the ability to get their visa's back making it so they cannot re-enter the
country, and he's also allowing the British people to have their say in
any future strategy Britain takes in the...it seems...never ending fight
against these barbarians. Meanwhile, our president (I still gag calling him that) informs 'We the People' that he and his administration have NO
strategy against ISIS at all.

Well, let me give Obama a strategy that would end the situation with
ISIS once and for all..a strategy that's really quite simple...a
strategy called 'shock and awe'...as in carpet bomb these barbarians back
to the 7th century where they belong...period. NO need for American
boots on the ground...NO need for one American life to be lost...just
bomb and keep bombing them until they are gone...it really is like I
said quite simple. And screw the 'collateral damage' for in this battle
we're now in its either them or us...and I sure as hell want the victor
to be us NOT them.

But instead of doing the obviously simple, Obama has now given
Secretary of Defense Chuck 'muslim supporting' Hagel and the Joint
Chiefs of Staff the task of coming up with military options. “We’re
gonna cobble together the kind of coalition that we need for a long-term
strategy as soon as we are able to fit together the military, political
and economic components of that strategy,” Obama said. “There will be a military aspect to that,” he quickly added.

So...let's get this straight...this most miserable excuse of a
president now wants... YES wants...more Americans to die instead of
bombing the hell out of the enemy. And so the truth once again becomes apparent that we have a president who does NOT side with America...a
president who does NOT side with or care about 'We the People' or about
those brave men and women who risk their lives to keep us safe and free
at home. And we have a president who most assuredly does NOT support or
care about men struggling to be free...men who need action now NOT a
task force to decide what will be done if anything will be done at all.

Sadly, we have a president...the 'supposed' leader of the free
world...who sides with the enemy time and time again for we have a
president who is more concerned about muslim lives lost than he is about
American lives lost...about allies lost...for the simple truth is that
if he cared about anyone or anything besides his muslim brethren Barack
HUSSEIN Obama would NOT even be thinking about placing American boots on
the ground...he would be bombing ISIS back to bowels of hell from which
they came. And he most definitely would NOT be going to
fundraisers...nor would he continuously be on the golf course detached
from reality...as he purposely does these things while the world moves
closer to what the lyrics of an old 60's song called the 'Eve of Destruction.'

And words spoken do indeed matter for they speak of what's in one's
heart...of what's in one's soul...and Barack HUSSEIN Obama's heart and
his soul are cold. So while David Cameron's words call ISIS a "poisonous extremism" that poses "a clear danger to Europe and to our security," Obama speaks of ISIS as a "JV team" who poses NO imminent danger to America...making
them a second string player if you will. And while Obama continues to
refer to ISIS as ISIL...knowing full well that he has now willingly
aligned himself...and thus America...with ISIS...as he knows and
understands that the word ISIL is a direct insult to Israel...that the
word ISIL is an acronym that does NOT recognize the existence of the
Jewish State of Israel...and he is more than happy with that.

And sometimes words spoken do come back to haunt for Obama also
defended during this press conference his (unconstitutional) decision
NOT to seek authorization from Congress before beginning air strikes on
ISIS just three short weeks ago. Claiming the urgency of the threat to
the U.S. consulate in Erbil required immediate action he said, “I can’t afford to wait in order to make sure that those folks are protected,”
forgetting that those words were NEVER spoken nor were any actions taken
almost two years ago when Ambassador Christopher Stevens begged for protection...begged for help...in a place known as Benghazi.

But does any of this matter...do any actions taken or words said mean
ISIS will be stopped...NOT with Barack HUSSEIN Obama as president for
he knows that ISIS wants to march down Pennsylvania Avenue and raise its
flag over the White House and NOTHING of true lasting substance is
being done to stop them. So while Obama's on the golf course hitting
more golf balls with that infamous stupid 'gotcha' smirk on his face,
ISIS will march in through our unsealed southern border and make themselves at home...make themselves at home
at the 'American People's House'...that is unless Congress does what
they know needs to be done...and starts doing it NOW for pretty soon it
will sadly be too late to do anything at all.

New Al Qaeda Magazine Hints an Attack on US Is Imminent

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s media branch is out with a new English language magazine, Palestine-Betrayal of the Guilty Conscience Al-Malahem.The new publication, a spin-off of Inspire, is calling on fellow Muslims to wage acts of terror in the United States and Britain.

A
new English-language Al Qaeda magazine features a how-to article on
making car bombs and suggests terror targets in the United States,
including casinos in Las Vegas, oil tankers and military colleges, and
implies that an attack is imminent. […]

“The timeline
concludes with the date 201?’ and blank spaces and question marks for
the photo and information of the next attack -- implying that it is
coming soon,” said MEMRI Executive Director Steve Stalinsky.

There
is a suggested list of targets for lone-wolf, or individually executed,
terror attacks, including New York's Times Square, casinos and night
clubs in Las Vegas, oil tankers and trains, the Georgia Military
College, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and General
Atomics defense contractor in San Diego.

“This recipe gives you
the ability to make a car bomb even in countries with tight security and
surveillance,” one article reads, before providing a “shopping list” of
supplies needed to make such a bomb, including cooking gas, oxygen gas,
a barometer, decoration lamps and matches.

There is also a list
of targets in Britain including a military academy and the Marks and
Spencers chain of department stores. The magazine calls for the stores
to be hit on Friday during prayers so that Muslims won’t be affected.
[…]

In a nine-page spread entitled, “How to make a bomb in the
kitchen of your mom,” the magazine details a do-it-yourself, illustrated
guide on assembling a pressure-cooker bomb similar to the ones used in
the Boston Marathon bombings.

“My Muslim brother, before you
start reading the instructions, remember that this type of operation if
prepared well and an appropriate target is chosen and Allah decrees
success for you, history will never forget it. It will be recorded as a
crushing defeat on the enemies of Islam,” the article says.

So
what are the chances of an attack on the homeland? U.S. intelligence
officials are currently investigating the increased likelihood, Fox
reports, but ISIS has already issued several threats against America,
including taunting tweets that show they’re already here.

An attack on the U.S. and other Western countries “will come probably sooner rather than later,” retired Gen. Michael Hayden said on CNN Sunday morning.

"The tax system should be simplified and work for all
Americans with lower individual and corporate tax rates and fewer
brackets."

That's from the Obama administration's 2009 proposals for tax reform, straight from whitehouse.gov.

"Because
our corporate tax system is so riddled with special interest
loopholes," the document goes on, "our system has one of the highest
statutory rates among developed countries to generate about the same
amount of corporate tax revenue as our developed country partners as a
share of our economy."

That is still accurate except that, now
that Japan has lowered its corporate tax rate, the U.S. is not "among
the highest" but is the highest among developed countries.

The
first step in establishing good public policy is identifying problems
with and weaknesses in current policy. On the corporate tax, President
Obama and his administration started off on the right foot.

Unfortunately, they haven't moved any further.

Not
while Democrats held supermajorities in both houses of Congress in 2009
and 2010. Not in the so-called grand bargain negotiations with House
Speaker John Boehner in 2011.

And not in Obama's second term.
Acting apparently on the belief that he voiced on the campaign trail,
that the Republicans' "fever" would break once he was re-elected --
evidently he regards opposition to his policies as sickness -- Obama
upped the ante.

His previous proposals for corporate tax reform
were revenue-neutral. Rates would be cut and preferences eliminated so
as to maintain the same revenue stream.

But his 2013 proposal was
different. Corporate tax reform would have to increase revenue. More
money to spend on infrastructure or food stamps or crony-connected solar
panel subsidies.

Coupled with that was the appointment of Jack
Lew as secretary of the Treasury. Participants in the 2011 grand bargain
discussions reported that Lew was the most partisan and obdurate of
administration negotiators. His appointment was a signal the president
wanted no deal.

Even so, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max
Baucus, a Democrat, and House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, a
Republican, engaged in extensive negotiations with a view to overall tax
reform.

The United States is not doing enough to prevent
radicalized Americans from travelling back-and-forth between countries
dominated by Islamist radicals, Wolf said.

“The U.S. is not taking any substantial steps to discourage
Americans from going over to fight—and these would-be fighters can see
there is little price to pay for doing so,” the letter states. “This is
an untenable situation that puts our country at greater risk of attack
from a radicalized American who trains and fights with these groups and
later returns home.” Republican Frank Wolf, Va.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands (who knows?) of American Muslims are
fighting for the Islamic State in the Middle East. They must be barred
re-entry into this country.

Americans who have travelled to foreign countries to
train and fight with terror groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (ISIS or ISIL) are not being barred from freely returning to
America, where they post a substantial terror threat, according to a
leading member of Congress.

U.S. intelligence agencies have been tracking Americans who travel
abroad to join jihadist groups, but there is no law on the books
restricting travel to countries posing a substantial terror threat,
according to Rep. Frank Wolf (R., Va.). He...

A
rare moment of candor. Not only does he not yet have a strategy; he
doesn’t yet have the courage to call the threat what it really is, or to
acknowledge that the actions of the Islamic State have deep roots in
Islamic theology and law. There is no way that we can defeat an enemy we
do not understand, and Obama refuses to understand this one.

“Obama: ‘We Don’t Have A Strategy Yet’ On ISIS,” by Brett LoGiurato, Business Insider, August 28, 2014:

U.S. President Barack Obama addressed a pair of worsening
world crises Thursday afternoon, blaming Russia for escalating violence
in eastern regions of Ukraine and admitting he doesn’t yet have a
strategy to confront the extremist group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (also ISIS or ISIL).

His statement from the White House came amid a day of significant escalation in the crisis in Ukraine,
as Ukraine’s president accused Russia of sending troops across the
border to fight with pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s southeastern
regions. Obama said it was clear the ongoing violence had been
“encouraged” by Russia, who he said trained and armed separatists in the
violence-stricken regions.

“Russia is responsible for the violence in eastern
Ukraine,” Obama said. “This ongoing Russian incursion into Ukraine will
only bring more costs and consequences for Russia.”

Obama is scheduled to meet Thursday evening with members of his
National Security Council, as well as Vice President Joe Biden, on a
strategy to further confront the extremist group ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
A White House official said no new decisions are expected on how to
proceed Thursday.

“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” Obama said, when asked about the next steps in confronting the group.

Hamas fighters captured by Israel blow the whistle on Hamas war crimes

Bare Naked Islam

During the summer’s Gaza war,
hundreds of Hamas militants surrendered to or were otherwise captured by
Israeli forces. In the course of interrogation, many of these prisoners
were candid regarding the unlawful tactics of their leaders.

Hamas prisoners held by Israel

Israel Today
A statement released by the Shin Bet, or Israel Security Agency (the
local equivalent of the American FBI) noted that the investigation of
these prisoners confirmed that “prominent use was made of mosques and
hospitals [in Gaza] as meeting points and hideouts. Worse still was the
digging of tunnels and launch sites, and the placing of arsenals, near
kindergartens.”

The Shin Bet went on to list a number
of the more revealing testimonies, including the names and hometowns of
the more chatty prisoners, a move that is certain to get them labeled as
“collaborators” back in Gaza.

Abdel
Rahman Balousha from Khan Younis revealed that the Alsafa and Alabra
mosques in his hometown served as meeting and assembly points for Hamas
terrorists.

Muhammad
Ala’a from Khan Younis and Muwaz Abu Tim from Bani Suheila said that
they were recruited for Hamas military activity at mosques in their
respective hometowns.

Muhammad
Ramadan from Khan Younis said that his February 2014 training as an
anti-tank fighter took place in a hall located beneath the Alshafi
mosque. He added that the hall serves as an Izzadin Al-Kassam Brigades
training and instruction facility.

Muhammad
Alqadra from Khan Younis said that several local mosques served as sites
to conceal war materiel such as RPGs, heavy PKC machine guns and
AK–47s. He added that local schools and hospitals, including the Nasser
and Halal hospitals, were also arsenals.

Afif Jerakh and Amad Jerakh from Beit Lahiya said that an attack tunnel had been dug close to a kindergarten.

Muhammad
Abu Daraz from Greater Ibsan said a tunnel in which he worked was begun
next to the Alfukhari clinic adjacent to the Abu Daka family home. He
said that in the area in Hazara in which he was arrested there is a
kindergarten, next to a clinic, to which he was to bring prisoners in
the event of a successful kidnapping.

Muhammad
Alqadra from Khan Younis said that it was well known that senior Hamas
leaders and their armed bodyguards, usually in police uniforms, openly
hide in hospitals.

Marad Amr
said that before he was arrested he saw a Hamas Toyota military jeep
blocking the entrance to the European hospital in Khan Younis.

Shin Bet insisted that given this
evidence, “it is clear…that Hamas knowingly and intentionally operates
in and adjacent to civilian areas… Hamas deliberately operates in these
locales, thus turning the civilian population into human shields on the
assumption that Israel will be blamed for any injury and loss of life.”

GOP, It’s Time To Bring Down The Hammer On Obama Corruption!

Barring a late-season push, the Democrats are heading into this
fall’s midterm elections looking at a near total loss.

President Barack
Obama is dragging down his party’s image like a battleship anchor lashed
to a rowboat.

Direct assaults on Americans’ individual liberties, once laughed off
as “phony” by the Democratic ownership, have clung to the headlines like
a particularly virulent fungus, mostly because Obama and his minions
have a bad habit of doubling down when they get caught lying. But most
importantly, the Democrats’ willful refusal to acknowledge that they’re
not the only ones whose opinions count has infuriated Americans to no
end. Yet the Republicans appear to be doing everything they can to keep
the Dems in the game. At this point, as the country reels from yet
another race-infused nightmare made infinitely worse by the machinations
of Obama and his ilk, the only reason the Democrats are still in the
midterm electoral fight is GOP hesitation to deliver the knockout blow.

Obviously, the biggest violator of the public trust is Obama himself.
His scandal-plagued regime’s tendency to launch vicious attacks on his
perceived enemies not only has produced the still-unresolved Obamacare
fraud debacle, the Benghazi nightmare, the NSA domestic spying scandal,
the outrageous use of the IRS as a political weapon and a foreign policy
as confused as it is impotent; but it also has produced a presidency
that is every bit as detached and isolated from the people it
purportedly serves as the Hollywood bobbleheads are from the shmoes who
buy tickets to sit through their dreck. Nonetheless, beyond the efforts
of dedicated public servants like Congressmen Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and
Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the Republicans have made almost no effort to
return justice to the fore. Instead, they’re suing the president.

"Netanyahu has more connection to me as a Palestinian than the king. Netanyahu's parents could have been our neighbors in Haifa, while this king's grandparents never knew what Aman or Jerusalem looked like."

- Raed Khammash, a Palestinian-Jordanian opposition leader who lives in exile in California

As the world continues its descent into hell, Iran is conducting what's called
'mechanical' tests on a new highly advanced centrifuge...a centrifuge
NOT part of those currently under UN watch... centrifuges that will be used to refine
uranium allowing Iran to garner atomic bomb material much faster
than ever before. And if that's NOT bad enough, it's now come to light that U.S. troops under
Obama's watch and command trained ISIS members at secret a base in
Jordan in 2012.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama claims that the rise of ISIS was
unexpected...and has caught everyone off guard. In a word...LIAR...as
the facts speak for themselves. Facts like that in February 2012, the
U.S., Turkey, and Jordan were operating a training camp for roughly 200
rebels who belonged to the Free Syrian Army...who in turn became members
of ISIS...and did so in Safawi, a town in Jordan's northern desert
region. There were also plans to train more 'so-called' rebels at two
other camps in the south and the east of Jordan. Obama knew about this and
sanctioned this as NO secret U.S. operations are done without the
president's knowledge and approval...as did Jordan's King Abdullah II
for the same reasons, and also because of his fear that the violence in Iraq
would spill over into his own country...which it has. More on that in a
bit.

Claiming to have vetted all those being trained for any ties to terror groups like
al-Qaida...another LIE... these people were focused on the use of
anti-tank weaponry...weaponry needed when engaging those trying to
takeover a country or when engaging those trying to keep their country
from being overtaken. And with it being known that Saudi Arabia is one
of the brethren countries arming ISIS...and with Obama's constant
catering and bowing down to Saudi's king...he damn well knew about ISIS
training fighters in Turkey as well...fighters who then went to Iraq via Syria
to slaughter any who opposed them in their quest to establish a strict
islamic caliphate throughout the Middle East...and then to spread west.

And the spread west has started with Jordan being ISIS' first stop.
Now openly marching into many Jordanian cities with their flags of death
held high, King Abdullah's forces are doing NOTHING to stop them. But the question is does ISIS actually have the support of Jordan's people...let the facts
speak for themselves with the primary fact being that Jordan's 6.3
million Palestinians are NOT happy with the king who denies them rights,
privileges, and assistance other Jordanians receive.

And with Jordan's government-controlled media suddenly taking to
calling Mohammed Dief...the chief commander of the al-Qassam Brigade (the
military wing of Hamas) and the man whose wife and child were killed in one of
Israel's recent IDF attacks...a hero...you know that things will only go from bad to
worse in Jordan.

And the worse started in the town of Ma'an where the ISIS flag flies
over the city. Ma’an is a Bedouin village in the southern part of Jordan
whose people are strong fundamentalists with many being
Salafists...strict adherents of the haddith...strict in their belief of
islamic orthodoxy, temporal proximity to muhammad, and that their
beliefs are the truest form of islam...translating into every single
word laid down in the qur-an and haddith are NEVER to be
questioned...much like some believe that every single word in the Bible
is true and must NEVER be questioned.

On June 24th, Ma'an saw a pro-ISIS demonstration take place...a
demonstration where the black flag of ISIS waved over many businesses
and government buildings...flags that are still there today. And this
demonstration took place with NO interference from Abdullah's government
forces...forces who looked on but did NOT a thing to stop them even
with King Abdullah being on ISIS' hit list. And critical amid shouts of
'allahu akbar' and 'Jordan will be an islamic state,' one important fact
must be noted...in this demonstration those taking part did NOT cover
their faces... meaning they have NO fear of the Jordanian government, its
police, its secret service, or its king. And without fear of the state
or fear of the king...the country becomes ripe for ISIS to move in and
actually take over with NO opposition whatsoever...and many who would
have lost their heads will now get to keep them.

And as ISIS moves further into Jordan with NO opposition facing them,
this means Israel faces a precarious situation as Jordan, just by its
being where it is geographically, serves as a buffer of sorts between
them and the jihadists in Iraq and Iran...jihadits whose goal is to wipe
Israel off the map. In fact, after rummages started coming from the Middle East
that there will soon be a battle between the IDF and ISIS itself...even
though the Saudi and Jordanian kings, the prime minister of Iraq, the
president of Egypt, and the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood are who
ISIS plans to take out first...ISIS issued this statement on its
Twitter account: “We haven’t given orders to kill the Israelis and
the Jews. The war against the nearer enemy, those who rebel against the
faith, is more important. Allah commands us in the Koran to fight the
hypocrites, because they are much more dangerous than those who are
fundamentally heretics.” And they cited the first caliph, Abu Bakr,
as proof as he was a man who began by fighting those who rebelled
against the faith, as well as Saladin, who fought the Shi’ites in Egypt
before conquering Jerusalem...meaning Israel has time to prepare against
ISIS but that she must also face the fact that if Jordan falls ISIS will be at
their door.

And this means that Jordan must be kept intact to both stop ISIS and to give the
Palestinians their Jordanian birthright back to them, and if
given their birthright back they will NO longer be banned from jobs,
from getting an education, etc., and thus their lot in life will improve. But currently with NO birthright...and remember the term
'Palestinians' is a made-up term...they have hit rock bottom with NO
hope per se, so by NOT fighting back against ISIS...by welcoming of
sorts ISIS into Jordan even knowing of their brutality...they hope their
willing acceptance of them will afford them a different outcome than others have
faced.

Now let's go back to the 1987 intifada, and remember that before 1987 the
Palestinians and Israelis lived side by side...co-existing if you will.
And know that this intifada would NEVER have happened without Qatar,
Kuwait, Oman, and the Arab Emirates pumping billions of dollars into it
with their sole goal of keeping Israel 'busy' so to speak. And it's in
the Obama administration's best interest...in Obama's personal interests
of siding with his muslim brethren...to keep Israel from becoming an
outright regional super power. So it had to be made that if Israel
'sleeps' even for one day that they will be NO more...hence the 'manufactured'
problems in Gaza and the West Bank. And in Obama's reasoning...that is
if you call what he does reasoning...if you can't 'officially' in the
eyes of the world claim Jerusalem as your own capital you must be kept under
control...you must be kept on a tight leash. And the so-called Palestinians are being used as the most
promoted cause in the world in order to keep Israel under that control for Israel must be kept weak as anti-Semitism is big business. And the
Palestinian cause may just be why all modern American presidents have
NOT 'officially' accepted Jerusalem as Israel's official capital.

And so it's in Israel's best interest to defuse the Palestinian
cause by supporting, in secret, a Palestinian homeland in Jordan. And
with King Abdullah facing strong opposition at home, it becomes apparent that if he is to stay in power
he needs to give something back...as in giving the Palestinians back
their Jordanian birthright ...and that birthright does NOT necessarily have to involve physically giving them land. In fact, Article 2 of Jordan's
Citizenship Law of 1956, says all non-Jewish Palestinians are born
Jordanians...meaning all Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, and
Lebanon are Jordanians by law and are entitled to all that law affords them.

And all Abdullah needs to do is just apply the law as written and the
entire Palestinian situation would be resolved with a simple signature
on paper. And that signature would lead the way for Jordan and Israel
together, along with Egypt, to become a strong united force that could keep
ISIS at bay. And know that el-Sisi is a true ally of Israel as he grew
up in the Jewish quarters in Cairo's Khuronshouf district. And he holds fond memories of
being invited to Passover dinners, and helping to switch lights off on
Saturdays, as recently told by one of the locals on Egyptian TV.

Bottom line...the key to stopping ISIS in Jordan is to give the
Palestinians back their birthright, because then allegiances...lasting
allegiances...will be forged. And if Jordan's king cannot save himself or
protect his own borders from ISIS...even after asking for military
protection from both the U.S. and Israel...then why do the Jordanians even
bother keeping him in power for they need a leader like el-Sisi to stop
ISIS dead in its tracks. Remember, the prime excuse used for keeping all
Jordan's weak kings in power has always been that they protected the
borders, but now with Jordan's king coming under sharp criticism from his own
people...despite his having received up to $15 billion in military
assistance alone from the U.S. since 2000...despite his receiving 24/7
intelligence and military surveillance reports from Israel...the simple
fact is that King Abdullah II can NO longer help protect either Israel's
borders or his own from ISIS.

And so it has become obvious that with ISIS already in Jordan, their king has looked away in fear because he does NOT have his
people's support. If you compare him to el-Sisi, an Egyptian muslim
representing 90 percent of his people to Abdullah's representing 87 people
called the Hashemites, this means that even if he wanted to ban the Muslim
Brotherhood...which he does NOT...or stop ISIS from further incursions
into Jordan...he does NOT have the merit to do so simply because he is
NOT Palestinian as are the people of his country.

So the myths about Jordan's king being the best friend Israel has...a best friend
supposedly dedicated to keeping Israel safe and whole...are just that...myths...and NO more. And while Jordan's King Abdulla II might be convenient to have around during
times of peace, he is an obstacle and a burden during times of war both
to Israel and to the Jordanian people as they come face-to-face with the
barbaric killers known as ISIS.
